Okami Tomato

A monochromatic picture of a strange entity amidst some trees, shrouded by mist and out of focus. The entity itself seems to stand upright with a mostly-skeletal body, though a large clump of fur sticks to its upper torso. It has 6 eyes and deer antlers on its head, though no other features can be clearly made out. --- Weird thing I encountered in 2 back-to-back dreams a couple weeks ago. Both times I encountered it in a forest I was trying to escape, and if it found me it would immediately rush me. Once it caught me I was presumably put back in the middle of the forest and would have to start all over again. ...gotta say compared to the other characters to show up in my dreams this one... ...this one is certainly... something.

Been down with the flu the last few days, so apologies for the slow uploads

So, what's my first upload now that I'm on the path to recovery? Some menacing-looking thing from some dreams I had a couple weeks back

I can confirm, sadly, that it isn't friendly :(

Octavia doing some knitting on the deck of her ship. She seems to be knitting some sort of large blanket themed after the ocean, complete with pink decorations based on clams, starfish, and a shark. She's also wearing a sweater with the same sort of design. --- Honestly this seems like a decent fit for a hobby for Octavia - those tentacles are pretty dextrous so I wonder if she could knit incredibly fast using both those and her hands?

Another Octavia doodle for today

Someone suggested giving her a hobby like knitting and, yeah, I could see her doing that 'v'

(Not that I can draw knitting very well but I think it's clear enough...?)

Octavia using her tentacle 'hair' to lift herself off the ground by attaching them to the ceiling. She's looking down towards the ground as she does so with a blank expression, possibly trying to look serious despite how silly the tentacles look.

Silly Octavia doodle for today

Those tentacles are dextrous and have a strong grip, so if she wanted she could just walk across the ceiling like this

I mean, it hasn't ever really been all that useful, but it's an option regardless :P

Octavia, reading a book on the deck of what is presumably some sort of ship. Rain is falling on her, but she seems completely unphased by it. Octavia herself is some sort of humanoid octopus whose body is mostly a dark blue colour. Her 'hair' actually consists of numerous tentacles, each ending on a purple 'tip'. One tentacle is also wrapped around her neck as a sort of scarf. Besides the pseudo-scarf, she's also seen wearing a dark brown button-up coat. --- Octavia is a character from a Terraria project that ultimately never saw the light of day, but for whatever reason her design was one that I still wanted to improve and eventually use - and so I finally have. She retains her seafaring status, but is now her ship's sole occupant; using her tentacles to multitask when needed. She mainly sails to find 'interesting things', though it's hard to tell exactly what's on her mind given how vague and personal of an idea that is. All sorts of things can be found on her ship - strange artifacts, gold, jewellery, books - it's all a little disorganised honestly.

Octavia

Octopus lady from an unfinished project that I just wanted to remake because it kinda felt like her design wasn't great and it irked me, so now she's just cooler

Sole occupant of her sailing vessel, she goes adventuring to find interesting things

[Mia Origins - 8/8]

Those memories from her time among the stars have been lost over time, but she doesn't mind - her home is here, among her friends.

Out there she had nothing...

Here, she has friends, family, a place of her own and people she cares for.

Here, she is happy.

[Mia Origins - 7/8]

The idea that a single action can lead to a domino effect is a prevalent one

Moved by kindness, the Construct did not continue down its intended path of destruction

Instead of becoming another mere tool of the Cosmic Frost it - no, she - became Mia

[Mia Origins - 6/8]

An unexpected encounter and a simple kind gesture, perhaps all you need to change things

Injured during its lengthy travel, its duty scrambled - but the cold seemed so familiar

A Construct met not with loneliness or fear or aggression... but with kindness?

[Mia Origins - 5/8]

Some years ago, however, something... unexpected happened...

[Mia Origins 4-8]

Frost Constructs, upon reaching their target world, will develop into a form most suited for the terrain. They will work tirelessly to reduce their world into frozen wasteland.

After that? They simply crumble away... enacting their master's will one last time.

[Mia Origins - 3/8]
Frost Constructs, born of the Cosmic Frost's icy teeth. Despite their size they are incredibly dangerous, capable of becoming an apex predator in any environment.

They are scattered by the Cosmic Frost with a single purpose: destruction on a planetary scale.

[Mia Origins - 2/8]

Among them, the Cosmic Frost; an entity disguised as the stars themselves, empowered by the absence of life.

Lacking true form, it must ironically first create life to destroy it... it must make vessels to enact its will...

A cloaked figure stood in a dark room, wearing some sort of pendant on a chain. Their form can't really be made out very well besides the top of the hood and the shoulders. This is, presumably, 'Eldarakh' --- Full text: --- Mia... it's strange to think her story starts here, but it would be wrong if it were not addressed. Her origins stem, in a way, from the liches. Now, liches are as you would expect; undying wizards kept alive by unnatural powers. However, one tends to stand above the others; the Cosmic Lich, Eldarakh. There have been whispers throughout millennia of what he is capable of, and this has drawn further attention to his cause. Many have hoped to gain his favour, and one such is rather prominent in this event.

[Mia Origins - 1/8]

Mia's story begins with an unexpected group... the liches. Surely things like these do not need an introduction, for their tales have persisted for many years

However one of them, Eldarakh, has gone many centuries with others attempting to gain his favour...

Mia in a dark pool of water, surrounded by a luminous blue trail. While she seems to be moving upward, the direction of the bubbles suggests she's actually sinking downward. Her 'hair' spirals around her and breaks off into blobs that float beside her. Additionally, icy blue chains can be seen broken and shattered beneath her. --- Been a while since I drew Mia as the focus of a pic and - whoa it's a surreal and dramatic one! She has a ton of lore and it feels like I should do something with that soon, so wanted to get the tone down so, this time, it isn't such a curveball when the tone changes for a few pics (Also yes the pic's title is a Duran Duran reference yet again - considering the themes of the song it felt appropriate to the story that comes next...)

'Come Undone'

A pink hot spring full of characters, seemingly somewhere secluded in a dark forest. Most of the characters in the spring are fairies, or are at least fairy-related, minus Mia and Tomato. From left to right: Terraria's Empress of Light, lounging with her arms resting on the sides of the spring, looking over at other people with a smile on her face The Allay Maid (Minecraft-related character of mine) with her eyes closed, simply resting in the pool's warmth Mia, talking while resting her hand over Tomato's shoulder Tomato, who admittedly looks a little nervous to be there at the moment Pearl, the Gardevoir, sat happily and contently in the water Kirby's Fairy Queen, blushing while she tries to hide by going deeper in the water and covering some of her face in her towel Jacinthe, looking over happily and possibly talking to Mia --- It was a little awkward turning up to a fairy-exclusive hot spring, but it was actually quite nice when you got in the water. Would go again... but I'd probably need to be invited - I'm not sure you can even find this place without an invitation considering it's magic and all... --- Another thing I was asked to make which also made me realise it has been a fairly long while since like half of the characters here have shown up in my art - whoops!

Another thing someone wanted me to make for this evening

✨Faerie Spring✨

Tomato and Mia got an invite to a secret hot spring, joined by the Empress of Light, the Allay Maid, Pearl (the Gardevoir), Kirby's Fairy Queen and Jacinthe

(To be fair it *was* really relaxing in there, so I can't complain)

Tomato, in the pool, seemingly being overwhelmed by the attention from Zan Partizanne... multiple of them, in fact. Each of them uses their alternate player colours from Star Allies and are wearing swimsuits to match the costume recolours as well. P1/Original Zan is on his right, smiling at him. P2 Zan is at his left, stood next to him with her arms behind her back P3 Zan is hugging him around the waist, with her head barely breaching the surface of the water P4 Zan, meanwhile, is watching the others from the pool's edge curiously

Alternate version of the first pic without the player tags over the Zan-s --- Simply-put, I lost a bet. Told someone the lack of Star Allies rep seemed strange and that lead to a bet. If they were in the game I got something, if they weren't I had to draw this. Needless to say, they weren't...

'<' Spoilerino'd because it's suggestive, be warned

Well Kirby Air Riders is out and the mage sisters weren't in it so I lost a bet, meaning I gotta post this here

Someone asked for Tomato... and Zan...
...and Zan... and Zan... and Zan?
#ZanPartizanne

Tomato, holding out a love ball to a Gardevoir that is noticeably taller than him. The Gardevoir is looking down at Tomato and blushing. I mean, it's a hard offer to pass up, I suppose? Though I feel like Tomato should've probably picked a better way to phrase and demonstrate it...

Well, going from one tall Gardevoir post to another

A request from someone after the recent big Pokemon Go event... which had big 'Gardes spawning for a while

'A proposal' ('join me and you get food and a place to live and stuff' - not a bad deal honestly)
#Pokemon #Gardevoir

Pearl, the Gardevoir, picking up Tomato to demonstrate the difference in height between the two. She's also blushing a little after picking him up and her chest spike also seems to be glowing a little...

Busy week, so not much art got finished recently... however I do have this cute/silly thing with Pearl

Fun fact: She is very tall 'o'

#Pokemon #Gardevoir

An anthropomorphised Pikachu girl, stood in the ocean and waving towards the viewer; specifically doing the 'Alola' greeting from the, well, Alola region. She's stood in the shallows wearing a scuba mask and snorkel, a shirt, and some bikini bottoms; generally her go-to outfit for exploration presumably. --- Originally a character I scrapped, but like the Chimecho girl from before I was asked to bring her back recently as a request. She might make more appearances in the future, but not sure yet - in the meantime, though, enjoy 'v'

Still finishing more requests today while I've got time

Here's a Pikachu girl based on the 2024 world championship art

Lives somewhere on one of Alola's many coasts, spends most of her time in the water despite being an electric-type. Looking to make shocking discoveries :P

An anthropomorphised version of the Pokemon Chimecho. Chimecho's main body became the head while the 'tail' became her hair. Her body also uses the same reddish pink as the end of Chimecho's tail to simulate clothes. Very friendly, and hard to miss despite her small size due to, well, jingling constantly as she moves. Also quite clingy to people and things... sometimes literally

Been a little busy as of the last few days, but have a Chimecho girl

Technically she isn't new, but she never got any art before; however a certain trailer bringing some Chimecho-related news inspired me to do so 'v'
#Pokemon #Chimecho

The shiny Galarian Zapdos, which is also Lucky, with 13-13-13 stats Obtained from a Lucky trade

The Raikou with 14-14-14 stats Obtained from a raid

Oh, and here they actually are in Go

Not 'perfect' stats, but I do like the fact they both ended up with evenly distributed stats anyways :P

A shiny Galarian Zapdos and a shiny Raikou, both in front of a background that resembles cartoonish lightning. --- A little while back I got two cool shiny legendaries on the same day and realised they had a few things in common, mainly that they actually swap their main colours compared to their non-shiny forms; G. Zapdos goes from orange to yellow and Raikou from yellow to orange. Figured they were cool and so decided to take the opportunity to draw them together as a duo, even if the two Pokemon are otherwise unrelated 'v' Hopefully I can power them both up and use them in the future too 'v'

⚡️Thunderous Legends⚡️

Got 2 cool shiny legendaries on Pokemon Go a little while ago and wanted to draw them both because their colours are a good match

A dynamic duo I hope to use in the future 'v'
#Pokemon #Raikou #Zapdos

Three anthropomorphised Gourgeist stood with each other in front of a starry night sky, with the centre one wrapping her arms around the other two as a group hug 'v' Thankfully, a long time spent around trainers means they don't do the whole 'soul-taking' thing wild Gourgeist do, so they're safe to be around. Though, for some people, them simply being ghost-types capable of that sort of thing does tend to scare some people away... Pie, on the left, is a jumbo-sized Gourgeist. A little more timid than the other two and rarely seen without one of the other two. Spoopy, in the middle, is a shiny with a fancy costume consisting of a top hat and bowtie. She even made herself a little suit to go along with it, which she's had since she first appeared. And Pepo, on the left, is a recent addition to the group; an XS Gourgeist with maxed-out IVs found in the wild recently. She has a hat and tie of her own, but hasn't fully accessorised like Spoopy has. --- A little late with this one mainly because I've had a lot of art to finish. Was meant to have this up in October... but surely early November is still alright, right? 'v'

Gourgeist gals; Pie, Spoopy and Pepo

Been a little while since Spoopy last appeared, and she brought some friends this time 'o'

I mean it's November now so they're a little late to the party, but it's still autumn so close enough :P
#Pokemon #Gourgeist

A humanoid Zacian, stood idly with her hands resting on the pommel of her sword in the slumbering weald. It has been a long time since her services were needed, but that does not mean her skills have dulled at all since the last time she fought... though I'm sure a lot of competitive players already knew that... --- Drew her because I got a real good Zacian a while back and thought that drawing one might be cool given the armour and such... didn't mean to take this long to get to it though - oops Either way, hope people like her 'v'

Drew a Zacian girl as well recently

Back from the Slumbering Weald to stop the darkest day...

followed by a fairly remarkable competitive career in battling (...I mean she also has a few extra hundred years experience over a lot of the competition...)
#Pokemon #Zacian

The Sub Commander tower from Bloons TD6 looking down from atop her submarine Honestly besides besides the more humanoid proportions and the little ponytail it's still mostly just the Sub Commander with minimal changes (...I have run out of things to say for the alt text this time... either way enjoy the art)

In the sea of random Pokemon stuff and OCs I got asked for something Bloons-related as well

...Well I mean it was basically just to 'make the x-x-5 Sub Commander curvy' but it's... something I guess?

'<' idk what I'm doing tbh
#Bloons #BTD6 #BloonsTD6

A humanoid robot seemingly based off Zan Partizanne (or at least my humanoid version of her, given the more humanoid figure). She's stood standing upright, looking right towards the viewer, with her arms behind her back. Her design shares a lot of general similarities to Zan herself and the mage sisters in general, given the design of her torso, though uses a orange/copper colour scheme. The chain between the two heart adornments is also replaced with a twisted copper wire. Her head is shaped somewhat similarly to Zan Partizanne's hair and has a face mask hiding most of her face like the other mages, though she also has a visor that hides her upper face as well. She noticeably has a neck and a 'spine' visible between her body segments. Lastly, a glowing yellow rod is seen in the centre of her chest, presumably acting as a power source of some kind. --- Another really random character today, though somehow not the first time I've drawn the 'copper' Zan Partizanne from those behind-the-scenes development screenshots. However, last time she was more humanoid, while this time I thought a more 'robotic' look would be more fitting. I wonder what Zan herself would think of this robotic duplicate... heck, where did it even come from!? So many questions!

Oops wait a second I have a backlog of things to post again... aaaand it's another niche cut for today

Remember the Star Allies dev pics? The orange/copper Zan Partizanne from that... made into a robot 'o'

#Kirby #ZanPartizanne #KirbyStarAllies

Shuckle from Pokemon Smile This is true Shuckle is indeed smiling and now I am incredibly happy 'v'

Ampharos from Pokemon Smile Much like Shuckle, lives up to the game title. Ampharos is, indeed, smiling

Scizor from Pokemon Smile I mean you can't exactly see the smile but I can just tell that it is there

Diglett from Pokemon Smile I do not know if Diglett has the capability to physically smile, but I can sense happiness regardless

So I have just accidentally stumbled upon the page for Pokemon Smile on Bulbapedia and

Well

Think I have my new favourite set of key art from any piece of Pokemon media to ever exist they are all SO PRECIOUS!?!?
#Pokemon

'_' Despite saying I'll spoiler it I proceeded to forget to do that on both sites.

Excellent work on my part

Tawna Bandicoot and Tomato on a beach hidden somewhere amidst the jungle-like flora of the N. Sanity Islands. Tawna is basically sat on Tomato, drawing small circles on his head with her finger, while Tomato's stuck beneath her going red in the face. --- Another request from the hospitalised friend because I agreed to make them things based on how long they were in for. Apparently Tawna was on their mind because this was the third Tawna image in a row they wanted. Made this version only because I liked how her face turned out. Yea the reason for making a whole new alt was because I thought this Tawna looked a little better than some of the other older Tawna arts I drew. Sadly I couldn't make some of the other edits I considered without having to redraw like half the picture... it'll probably be fine...?

'<' well I got more requests from said hospitalised friend again just gonna spoiler it ig

They asked for more Tawna... and Tomato

(...this is the 4th art in a row where Tomato is stuck somewhere... can he catch a break?)
#TawnaBandicoot

Thanks 'v'

Tawna Bandicoot and Tomato, still asleep as daylight shines through the window in front of them. Tawna's sleeping on the pillows as intended while Tomato has somehow ended up stuck under her leg... must move around in his sleep a lot The bed itself also appears to be made out of repurposed pieces of crates, judging by the partially-visible '?' behind a piece of wood on the headboard. The nightstand is also just a crate. --- Got a few requests from a friend to make their visit to hospital a little more bearable. Admittedly, most of 'em aren't my sort of thing, but this one was cute and I liked the soft lighting from the sun so I remade part of it to make it look a bit nicer 'v'

Well I let someone request a few things while they were in the hospital, gonna post some of the nicer ones here

Lazy Morning, ft. Tawna
